Easy spot to chopper out of also.
What day were you there?

I wonder if a chopper would land on that lake? Sometimes that far west side is open down near that waterfall.

Sled is on the north east corner of lake and on a small rise just off of lake. Waterfall is northwest end of lake.
Safe to land on east side of tree away from lake.

Was down by the lake on sunday and cleaned all the snow off of it

Looks like awesome snow. We usually ride down south Fernie area but we're thinking of coming up here for a change in scenery. Where would be the best spot for a family to spend a couple days in the snow. Nothing to advanced as a couple are new to the mountain riding. Also what hotel would you recommend to stay at?

Belle is always a great time. Always lots of untouched snow, lots of meadows. Renshaw is great for all around riding. You’ll find everything from beginner to expert. Lucille has somemeadows as well, a lot more hills than Belle to play on.

We have been staying at NV Mountainview cabins, they are located about 20km east of town. Great rates and nice cabins!

It is supposed to be opening on a part time basis. Fri-Sun and I think it’s this month.

Sounds like maybe the Doo coil issue. Had that happen us with T3's.

 

[j.c.higgins]

McBride still getting dumped on! 10 more inches in town!!

 

[Merc63]

Oh ya it’s piling up on the weather station and highway cams. The storm is supposed to stalll and just nuke snow.

Dunno, If it has shot it could be as simple as unplugging the shot capacitor.

Must be lots of fresh snow. Reports say that staging for Belle is at the lower staging area KM 1 as road has too much. Been a long time since I had to leave from that staging area.
